You asked, we listened! The 1st Annual BFSN Summer Mixer was a huge success with over 150 attendees across all 4 cities!

Thank you everyone who attended last week's mixers. it was truly a beautiful site to see. We all know we have the best of the best in our former and current students. Seeing everyone reunite at these mixers was so powerful and I know we can only go up from here. In today's social and political climate, our organization is needed more than ever. We must connect and support each other, especially our young Aggies, and strengthen the power of our network. Our vision is to be a robust and influential organization. Those of you who could not make it to the mixers, don't worry—we plan to host more events in additional locations across the country (with your help!) Join us in honoring our past, applauding our present, and funding the future!

The Aggie Impact Award is a revered honor bestowed upon a former student of Texas A&M University. The award, sponsored by the first Constituent Network of The Association of Former Students, Texas A&M Black Former Student Network, recognizes individual persons who have made a positive IMPACT on society by setting themselves apart by excelling in their profession, their undying commitment to serving society and his/her community, and by their service to Black students, faculty, and former students of Texas A&M University.

This award, sponsored by the Texas A&M Black Former Student Network, is given to up-and-coming current and former students aged 30 and under who embody Aggie core values and display continual growth. Individuals recognized are emerging leaders in their profession or the Aggie community and demonstrate a desire to pay it forward to current students and future Aggies.

The Aggie Impact Gala (AIG) is a prestigious event that financially helps Black students at Texas A&M University along with honoring former Black students who have made an impact in their communities and professions.

AIG supports higher education in the community through the Aggie Impact Endowment Foundation Excellence Award, which financially supports a gap in funding for deserving Black students: future, current and transfer. The Aggie Impact Gala is a fundraising arm of the Texas A&M Black Former Student Network, a 501©3 recognized Constituent Network of the Texas A&M Association of Former Students.

We are happy to once again partner  with the Texas A&M Hotel & Conference Center for the entirety of the Aggie Impact Gala Weekend.

Rooms sell out fast so please book as soon as possible!

We encourage you to get involved with the Black Former Student Network and the Association of Former Students in order to reach back and help young Black students maximize their talent and time while attending TAMU. 

Whether you graduated 2 years ago or 2 decades ago, your time, skills, and/or generous donations are invaluable to the BFSN so that we can keep our Vision and Mission strong and vibrant for generations to come.
